Is this possible at the moment? If so, can anyone recommend a company to do so?
Thanks,
John

apparently this works with any samsung, havent tried it personally though..
1. Turn off your phone, put in a SIM of a provider that it is not locked to, and turn it back on.
2. At the wrong card message, type *#9998*3323#. A message will pop up telling you to press exit, so hit the right softkey. Choose number 7 (or 8 or 9 work, I think). Your phone will reboot and your SIM will work.
3. Type *0141# and then hit call. This will give you a message saying your phone is personalized.
4. Power down your phone and insert a SIM card other than the one that is in it. Power back up your phone.
5. At the SIM code prompt type 00000000, that is 8 zeroes.

Doesn't sound very likely to be honest, I don't want yo buy a locked phone and then found I'm stuck with it either.

I picked an X830 up today from Phones4U and it's unlocked...a stock one with a payg slip on it so no worrying about unlocking it.
